This "artful find" in Rutherford is "as good as it gets" for "outstanding", "beautifully presented" Eclectic cuisine (with early-bird and prix fixe options) from "creative" chef-owner Peter Loria; though "pricey", this "special-occasion" experience comes complete with "superior service" and an "exceptional ambiance" that includes an "elegant dining room" with hand blown glass chandeliers and "romantic" garden seating; P.S. it's a BYO with a "lovely wine shop up front."
